The possibility that toxins produced by bacterial and fungal pathogens may play a role in the etiology of the diseases which these microorganisms bring about has received a good deal of attention and the so-called toxin theory of disease causation has gained more and more prominence in recent years. According to this theory, many of the symptom expressions of parasitic diseases especially those occurring in the non-invaded parts of the host are due partly or entirely to those secretions of the pathogen formed while it is growing within the host.
